Promised Land State Park
Two lakes surrounded by forest and nearly 50 km of trails. Swimming, boating, and camping are all available, making it a peaceful forest retreat.
Promised Land State Park is on the northern Pocono Plateau, surrounded by Delaware State Forest. It sits at about 550 meters, so summers are cool. The park has two lakes, Promised Land Lake and Lower Lake, with public beaches, boat rentals, and several campgrounds. Nearly 50 km of trails wind through hemlock forests and wetlands. Autumn foliage is beautiful, and in winter visitors can go ice fishing and cross-country skiing. Admission is free. Campsites must be reserved in advance through the state park's official website.
